It is about 6 and 1/2" across and was white when cut down yesterday but has oranged slightly. I thought it was field maple at first but after a bit of searching it looks more like norway maple any thoughts would be greatly appreiciated cheers Duncan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,203 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Alder goes bright orange once cut but I dont think the bark resembles that in the photo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KES2 171 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Black poplar has a dark central (heartwood) area - I have never seen one like this (bark) Field maple is much less roughly textured - I'd go with Norway Maple although some NM bark is very regular and unlike the enclosed photo.
